‘This town might be over’: Grindavík residents face uncertain future after volcano erupts again

The 3,800 inhabitants of south-western Icelandic town fear they may never be able to return home

Residents of the Icelandic town of Grindavik fear they may not be able to return to their homes after volcanic lava destroyed several houses and damaged water and electricity supplies.

The Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted for the second time in less than a month on Sunday morning, hours after the authorities had instructed residents to leave the fishing town in the south-west of the island after a swarm" of mini-earthquakes suggested an eruption was imminent.
